These are coming out now because the DOJ OIG was asked to look into FISA abuse back in late 2017 or early 2018. There's now a report circulating for comment in the FBI and other agencies. Rumour is that it will be released next week.

The rate is misleading since there's a back and forth with the judge before final submission. eg the judge will look it over and says that there's no specific crime listed like the law requires, two weeks later there are money lau

I doubt it's that simple. The trick is taking advantage of a limitation in flies eyes. They can't just choose to ignore the stripes.

I think the argument is that the government bailout was much simpler than having each bank go through a bankruptcy negotiations with their various creditors. Many of the debtees probably came out behind what they could have negotiated, but

I think the short answer is "that's why we have judges". I suspect that whatever version parliament has been reading and amending would be considered official.

It's interesting how damaging his strategy has been to the Far Side brand. Without new comics in the newspaper and without sharing online it's basically unknown to people under 30.

You might be able to make it work if you can get a gaming tier on a cloud platform. EC2 already has GPU focused instances. I can see things working out, but still expensive, if the hardware also being using for scientific computing and CGI

I think this is going to be heavily industry / platform specific. Web devs like to release generic reusable parts as open source. Often in the hope that someone else will help maintain them. Whereas finance and game development like to

It probably starts with an existing YAML config file that you only need to pass one or two variables to. Then things get out of hand.

I'm curious where you live. Are lawns not common? Even in Ontario, not particularly hot or dry, people water to prevent their lawns from turning brown in August.

Also there's a huge difference in housing costs within a metro area based on when you arrived. Due to rent control and low construction rates. So a 15 year renter will be locked into low rent rates and have significantly more disposabl

Basically yes. In theory you can reduce costs by going after the chunk of healthcare funding that ends up going to lawyers, insurance companies, medical billing experts, etc. But trying to claw back funding from the first two never seems to

It'd be very interesting to see if people on the fight for 15 campaign would support starting off by setting a $15/h floor for temporary labour (H2 class) visas.

Team sports are rituals to mimic our instinct for tribal war. Our boys are defending us against those bastards in the other city. Or going over to the other city and teaching them not to mess with us in the future. The NFL amps up the image

I guess the point is that Twitter could easily tone down pile ons by noticing that a tweet is generating many more replies than likes. Then reduce display of that tweet instead of boosting it to non-followers. Perhaps not for blue checkmark

They did the same thing for the Pinterest video. It's kind of disturbing because there's a clear two tier pattern emerging. People with tech connections can take down videos that name them, even if the videos are legitimately news

A bit of a tangent, but in Canada "financial advisers" are regulated and required to act in the customers interests. So naturally banks will connect you to "financial advisors" (unregulated) to buy products. https:&#x2F

The usual defence for copyright claims in music is that they are similar because you are both stealing from an earlier work without a valid copyright. So I'd bet that jazz cases would be difficult in general. I'd expect there are

Inkscape just released their 1.0alpha. You can argue about naming conventions all you want but here's the reality. It is just not a mature professional product in the same category as Illustrator. Similarly GIMP has a lot of oddities t

It wasn't exactly ignored. Until March 2018 there were IRC and XMPP gateways supported. So you could use alternative clients will a full suite of accessibility features. But now they're gone.

It probably isn't Google though. They say they license and receive content from LyricFind Inc, which probably takes care of all the legal issues. I'm guess that LyricFind got lawyers from all the major labels to sign licenses, but

On principle, a country shouldn't be able to compel a non-resident non-citizen to enter the country and become subject to it's laws. Except in the case of some sort of criminal extradition.

The problem is that you can't actually build low income housing in a tight market. All housing is desirable when there's a severe shortage like we're seeing in Toronto and other cities where new construction is being limited.
